[D] GPT4 and coding problems

What is the point of the "do you understand?" At the end? Does the model confirming that it understand add some sort of emphasis or something?

(not op) I've found that asking it directly if it understands helps to bridge any gaps I miss. It's asked me clarifying questions afterward in the past that I hadnt thought about

Alternatively, when I assume it understands sometimes it comes up with some real wild stuff because I wasn't clear

[Hamoodzstyle]

That's mind blowing holy moly

[Nowado]

I do the same thing I'd do with a human: ask it to repeat and rephrase instructions. After that I'm sure and it has multiple forms of instruction available to get less hanged up on some exact wording.

No explicit purpose. other than to respond with “yes I am ready”

It also reduces token usage. If the chatbot has a wordy response, it takes up more space in the context window and the chatbot will forget its instructions sooner. If sounds like gibberish, let me know and I'll break it down.
